... I don't think so. If it's a pins-and-needles sort of feeling, you might be having circulation/nerve pinch issues. Are you diabetic/pre-diabetic/have a family history of diabetes? Circulation issues usually go hand in hand with foot problems.

Either way, it's definitely something to mention to your doctor.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not diabetic and no one in my immediate family is. It itches a bit when I rest my legs after the walk but it's not the pins-and-needles kind.
I forgot to mention that when I went to donate my blood it was refused because it didn't have enough iron in it to qualify. I don't know if it's linked though.

Yeah I guess I should see a doctor about it. The thing is, though, I don't have a doctor, because I never have to consult usually; I'm never sick. So I'd rather avoid to go if I can.

I forgot to mention that when I went to donate my blood it was refused because it didn't have enough iron in it to qualify. I don't know if it's linked though.

It's linked, but try to fix it through diet, first. The pills can have the side effect of constipation, so I never bothered

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron#Health_and_diet

Do try and eat the healthy options on the list, just because Wikipedia says most breakfast cereals have been enriched with it, doesn't mean you'll get your RDA from a huge bowl of Sugar Crisps or smth.

Thanks for the link! So steak and tuna it is then. I don't think I'd know where to find 'fortified' bread or cereals anyway.

The grocery store. Damn near all national commercially sold bread and cereal is fortified with extra vitamins and minerals. Dark leafy greens like spinach are also an excellent source of iron.

Eh, the thing is, I'm not American, so I'm not sure if it's the same in my country. I'll keep my eyes open though.

Eat your leafy greens dressed with a little olive oil and plenty of lemon juice; both fat and vitamin C help you absorb the non-heme iron provided by plant sources.

Don't just think iron-deficiency causes anemia; it can have other causes too like vitamin deficiency of folate and vitamin b-12. I know people who couldn't get their anemia to get better until they started taking these vitamins and they tried iron pills for years. You may want to try/look into this.

"Vitamin-deficiency anemia may occur when vitamin B12 and folate are deficient. These two vitamins are needed to make red blood cells. Conditions leading to anemia caused by vitamin deficiency include:

Megaloblastic anemia: Vitamin B12 or folate or both are deficient
Pernicious anemia: Poor vitamin B12 absorption caused by conditions such as Crohn's disease, an intestinal parasite infection, surgical removal of part of the stomach or intestine, or infection with HIV
Dietary deficiency: Eating little or no meat may cause a lack of vitamin B12, while overcooking or eating too few vegetables may cause a folate deficiency.
Other causes of vitamin deficiency: pregnancy, certain medications, alcohol abuse, intestinal diseases such as tropical sprue and celiac disease" from http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/understanding-anemia-basics?page=2
